The XBR legend lives on

The XBR badge only appears on Sony's very finest HDTVs, and over the years we've found XBR picture quality to be truly something special. The XBR-55HX950 features technology we haven't seen in any other TV brand. Super-strong Corning® Gorilla® Glass makes the elegant “monolithic” frameless design possible, and its superb optical clarity lets the full beauty of high-def and 3D images shine through.

A sophisticated — and increasingly rare — full-array LED backlight with local dimming can independently control the bright and dark levels in each area of the screen, for ultra-precise picture contrast with incredibly deep black levels. And Sony's Super Bit Mapping video processing applies14-bit upscaling to smooth gradation for a more natural-looking picture.

Pro-grade picture detail

Displaying high-definition images with pinpoint detail on a large TV requires more than just a high-quality screen. You need powerful video processing, too, and that's one of Sony's biggest strengths. Their advanced X-Reality™ Pro feature improves picture detail in everything you watch — HD sources as well as low-resolution web videos. X-Reality Pro isn't limited to enhancing detail and reducing video noise. It actually draws on a database of real patterns, shapes and textures to display a startlingly lifelike picture. Plus, you get full HD 1080p — even in 3D — and Sony's highest level of motion processing, Motionflow™ XR 960. And whenever you want to try out the 3D-at-home experience, just pick up a pair or two of Sony's 3D glasses.

Tap into a massive library of online fun

Built-in Wi-Fi® lets you easily connect the XBR-55HX950 to the Internet and stream endless content directly to its screen. The Sony Entertainment Network puts thousands of movies, TV shows, online videos and games at your fingertips, along with millions of songs. Built-in web apps include Netflix®, Hulu Plus™, YouTube™, Pandora® Internet radio, and more. You can also enjoy content pulled from the web or a PC on your home network without connecting an Ethernet cable.

A Nice Set

This TV is pretty much what I expected in terms of features and having XBRs over the years. The size is perfect for its placement in the room and I don't agree with the negative reviews concerning sound quality.

Pros:Simple set up, great picture.

Cons:On the expensive side and Internet functionality is limited compared to other manufacturers.

Excellent picture

I have been looking at this TV ever since a friend purchased the HX929. I was shocked at the new features and the incredible picture quality over my KDL-A3000 which was a very highly rate display at the time it was purchased. The HX950 is even a step better with deeper blacks. The display was easy to setup on the included stand and later with the Sanus mount that I purchased along with it. My only complaint is the glossy screen that shows lots of reflections in bright settings. Otherwise, we are extremely happy with the quality of this set.

Super TV

The TV is amazing in picture quality, design, and the amazing things that you can do with it. It has a very sleek design. When used in conjunction with a Blu-Ray 3D player the picture is astounding. This TV can really be enjoyed when connected to a component system using a great receiver and outstanding speaker system. Friends have commented that their systems seem really outdated when viewing this unit. The unit itself does not have very good sound quality when listening through the built in speakers that come with the unit. However, this is the case with all TV's.

Pros:Sleek design, terrific quality picture. My previous TV was a Sony XBR, but this one is so far advanced it is amazing.

Expensive but worth it

After going through 3 different Panasonic plasmas and returning them all for various reasons (buzzing, fan noise, quick-onset image retention) I decided to pony up the $$$ and try the Sony HX950. Being accustomed to plasma picture quality, the bar was set pretty high. And the Sony delivers. Picture quality is amazing and I couldn't be happier. Sure, if you view it from 90 degrees off-angle, you'll notice the contrast decrease and see the blooming... but for the quite, and the true whites and the lack of I.R./burn-in, I'll take that trade-off. And with the 'monolithic' design it looks great even when turned off. This will be the centerpiece of my home theater for many years to come.

XBR is the difference!

This purchase is the end result of careful comparison and research from many sources. Our first choice was a Sony HX 850. As you may know this model like most every other T.V. produced today is edge-lit. This technology although fine for smaller t.v.'s, seems to have issues when used on larger screens. We tried two different units with the same result. (Flash-lighting effect from corners). After discussions and incredible customer service from Crutchfield representatives we decided to try an XBR model. This is a large television so any fault in screen uniformity is going to be amplified. I'm happy to say there are none! Picture uniformity is incredible and noticed the very second you turn on the set. It's very clear that "Full Array" technology is the obvious winner here. Any area of the screen that's intended to be black is just that. Picture color quality is amazing, there's no over-saturation of color as is the case with some other brands, This television has lots of user variable picture settings and some research from related sources can really help you achieve exactly the result you might want to suit your viewing needs. In my case with the best input signals it really does look like your standing in front of a window watching the world go by. Keep in mind that's just with standard broadcast H.D. I can't imagine what a good quality Blu-ray disc is going to look like once we purchase that equipment. Yes it's an expensive set but you clearly get what you pay for!

Pros:Incredible uniform picture with natural color and detail. We've been Crutchfield customers for over 10 years, you can't find better service anywhere! Product knowledge is everything and they nail it every time!

Cons:Sony and other manufactures need to realize that people will purchase this technology in a smaller format. Confining quality to one or two size choices is short-sighted since the average size viewing room in the U.S. is not "Theater sized".

Stunning!

Stunning picture! When I decide to purchase high dollar items, I try to spend as wisely as possible. Spend a little extra & get quality. The Sony fits this train of thought! We've never been disappointed buying high end Sony products!

Excellent HDTV

Excellent lifelike picture, color and detail are outstanding. The dark scenes in HD television programs have a "feel" that I have never seen on a home TV before down to an absolute black, simialr feel to watching dark scenes of the recent Batman movies in a good theater. Menus are well designed relative to the last few TVs I have purchased. Attractive clean look when turned off, like a piece of modern art.

Pros:What I noted above...

Cons:I need to determine if I can turn off the lighted Sony icon at the bottom of the screen when the set is on, it is distracting during darker scenes especially given the absolute black rendering.

Crutchfield response on Monday, December 24, 2012We forwarded this review to our Technical Support team for follow-up. Lifetime tech support comes with every Crutchfield purchase.

Excellent picture/mediocre speakers

The guys that installed the T.V. per wall mount said that it was the best T.V. picture that they had ever seen and I would agree. I've only had it a week and no problems so far..easy to set-up and use. The only thing that keeps it getting 5 stars are the mediocre speakers. On the other hand, if you're putting out this kind of dough for a T.V. set, you probably won't be satisfied with stock speakers anyway. Would buy this T. V again without hesitation and budget for better add-on speakers

Video Features

Intelligent Peak LED: Sony's Intelligent Peak LED Backlight
uses local dimming and boost to achieve an incredible dynamic contrast ratio with
the deepest blacks and brightest whites possible. Sony's Intelligent Peak LED
Backlight system uses a full array, local dimming for deeper blacks, while also
boosting brightness in lighter scenes creating incredible on-screen contrast.
Every television picture requires contrast (the difference between dark and
light areas of the screen). High contrast makes your TV picture vivid, deep and
powerful. Sony achieves spectacular contrast with Intelligent Peak LED
Backlight. This system places a multi-segment array of white LEDs behind the
screen and varies the LED brightness according to the picture content. It shines
brightly where the picture is bright, and can fall to black where the picture is
black. Experience Sony's best picture quality and extraordinary contrast with
this full-array, local dimming system.

Corning Gorilla Glass: The Sony Bravia XBR-HX950 series
TV features an incredibly durable, remarkably lightweight, frameless design
with Corning's exclusive Gorilla Glass. By replacing the thin layer of air
between the LCD panel and the front glass with a specially-formulated dark
resin, reflections are minimized and contrast and brightness are increased.
This resin also provides a suitably dark background for producing rich and
vibrant pictures, even in a well-lit room, and enhances the Bravia LED-LCD
television's Monolithic Design concept by making the television appear to be
a seamless black monolith when the screen is switched off. Plus, the Corning
Gorilla Glass is used to increase the strength of the screen at a molecular
level, while simultaneously enabling it to be thinner and lighter than ever
before.

X-Reality PRO Engine: Sony's X-Reality PRO Engine lets you
enjoy a vivid, lifelike picture experience by analyzing each scene
pixel-by-pixel so you see sharpened images, amazing contrast, and fine detail.
Blu-ray Disc movies, cable TV, satellite TV, and even Web videos each place
unique demands on the processing circuits of a TV. The X-Reality PRO Engine
helps get the best results from these different video sources by analyzing
texture, outline, contrast, and color reproduction. The X-Reality PRO Engine
will then analyze each scene pixel-by-pixel across 3-dimensions (Width, Height,
and Time) and uses sophisticated pattern matching to optimize the picture,
ensuring you always get the best images possible.

Intelligent Image Enhancer: Experience exceptional
color contrast and picture accuracy in every frame with the television's
Intelligent Image Enhancer. The Intelligent Image Enhancer enhances the
details and outlines of the picture while suppressing artifacts. The
X-Reality Engine uses the Intelligent Image Enhancer to divide the signal
according to four characteristics (Texture, Outline, Contrast, and Color).
The circuit divides the picture into these four parts, analyzes the quality
of each scene and applies only the processing required for each part. The
result is a picture that's carefully optimized for natural image
reproduction.

Video Area Detection: Adjusts effect level optimally by detecting
video area within a picture.

Smooth Gradation: This feature of the X-Reality PRO
Engine creates smooth gradations on flat surfaces of the picture.

Resolution: The Resolution function adjusts detail and
clarity of the picture.

Note: The X-Reality Engine performs
Interlace-to-Progressive (IP) conversion and upscaling as required.
Film-based 24 frames-per-second content undergoes special IP conversion to
reduce the "stair-step jaggies" that can form at high-contrast edges.

1080p Resolution: The Sony XBR-HX950 series television has a HD native
resolution of 1920 x 1080 (1080p). All video signals from
standard definition and high definition sources are displayed at 1920 x 1080.

Video Inputs: The Sony XBR-HX950 series
TV is equipped with HDMI, Component,
and Composite video inputs.

4 HDMI Inputs: The XBR-HX950 series features
four HDMI inputs. The HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) terminals
provide an uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface. The HDMI input
will accept 1080p (60/24Hz), 1080i, 720p, 480p, and 480i signals. The HDMI 2 input shares a 3.5mm audio jack with the television's PC input. With an HDMI-to-DVI cable, you can
connect the TV to a DVI-equipped A/V component. When connecting to a
DVI-equipped component, the 3.5mm audio input is used and separate minijack audio
cable must be connected.

Component Video Input: The component video input will
accept 1080p (60Hz), 1080i, 720p, 480p, and 480i signals. If needed,
the component video input can be used as a composite video input instead.

Composite Video Input: The TV is also equipped with a composite video (480i only) input.

24pTrue Cinema (24p Input Capability): Many movies are filmed at 24 frames per second
(fps) and prime time TV programs are video taped at 24p. Seizing on an
opportunity, some studios are taking a purist approach and encoding high
definition video content such as Blu-ray Disc in 24p. Sony wisely takes
advantage of this by including 24p input capability via HDMI on this television
producing images that are smooth and natural looking.

Auto 2: Displays film-based content with picture
expression close to the original by applying a film-specific process.

Automatic Intelligence: The TV's built-in Light Sensor
automatically adjusts the picture brightness based on the amount of light in the
room. As a result, you can enjoy automatic customized picture brightness and
save energy without lifting a finger. The televisions Advance Contrast Enhancer
(ACE) automatically adjusts backlight and contrast to the most suitable setting
judging from the brightness of the screen. This setting is especially effective
for dark scenes, and will increase the contrast distinction for the darker
picture scenes. The ACE can be set to High, Medium, Low, or Off.

3D Ready: The Sony XBR-HX950 series LED-LCD TV gives you the
option to enjoy 3D (three-dimensional) pictures and graphics. You can enjoy an
immersive, realistic movie and gaming experience in Full HD 1080p using Sony's
proprietary
3D Active Glasses, (158BR250, sold separately) and connecting a compatible 3D-ready Blu-ray Disc Player, Satellite Receiver, or PlayStation3 gaming console (all
sold separately) to the HDTV via HDMI. When viewed through the active shutter
glasses, the on-screen image is precisely synchronized and delivered with the
Full HD 1080p image intact, for an optimum 3D viewing experience. Sony's 3D
technology displays high speed synchronized left- and right-eye images to
deliver an immersive 3D experience. And since each frame you see is shown at
Full HD resolution, the 3D action still offers razor-sharp detail. You can
adjust the following 3D settings.

Audio Features

ARC (Audio Return Channel): The Audio Return Channel in HDMI
1.4 enables a TV, via a single HDMI cable, to send audio data "upstream" to an
A/V receiver; increasing user flexibility and eliminating the need for any
separate S/PDIF audio connection. This feature allows audio to be sent from the
television to your A/V receiver through the same HDMI cable already being used
to send audio/video to the television. This eliminates the need for extra cables
connected to the TV. ARC allows audio from the TV tuner, Network connection,
inserted USB device, HDMI inputs, or any analog connected device to be heard
through your ARC compatible AV receiver via the television's HDMI ARC input. The
audio from the TV's tuner, network connection, and HDMI inputs can pass as Dolby
Digital or 2ch PCM. USB and analog connected devices will be output as 2ch PCM
only.

Note: Both the television and the receiver must support
ARC for this function to work properly. When connecting an A/V receiver that
is compatible with Audio Return Channel (ARC), connect it to the TV's HDMI
IN 1 port. If connecting a system that is incompatible Audio Return Channel
(ARC), an additional audio connection via Digital Audio Out (Optical) is
necessary.

analog output can be used to connect a set of headphones or as an audio
output to connect your home theater receiver or soundbar system. You will
need a minijack-to-RCA adapter (sold separately) to make a stereo RCA connection between the television and
your AV receiver. The TV's analog audio output terminal will output 2ch
audio from any of the television's source inputs. You can set the TV's
analog output to Fixed or Variable. You can set the TV to automatically mute
the built-in speakers when a set of headphones are connected.
